Re: the character ‘%’

Sam,

You wrote 3 lines and spent time but did not answer my question!!

I think instead of using it, that, those and so on, we can specify the
main thing it is trying to explain.

Does it mean, "%" ? If I use two % in a target name , will it be an
ordinary target? like:
m.%.t.%.f :

Why the writers used "them" in this expression?
